As a guide, the payment for 2019–20 was £89. A one-off higher payment of approximately £425 applies to our Outdoor Adventure course due to the nature of their course activities, which include trips and expeditions to North Wales, South Wales and Dartmoor, using our fleet of canoes, kayaks and mountain bikes.
